​I continue to gain so much clarity and actionable suggestions to help me process my struggles both professionally and personally. I'm so grateful for Caroline's authentic style of coaching and for creating a safe space to open up.

Thank you Caroline for your Career Coaching! I really enjoyed it and I learned a lot from you over the course of our 1:1 sessions. I still remember one key piece of advice from you vividly -- "it's important to know that your career goal is something you really want to do, and know why". Your coaching really enabled me to build a better understanding of Google's culture, be more selective with what I pursue, and gain the confidence to navigate my career and “market” for myself! For that I really appreciate your advice and guidance!

Caroline has been an instrumental member of the Asian Google Leadership group supporting professional development as well as personal growth of women across all levels at Google. I was fortunate to work with her on women specific programs that helped elevate DEI, cultural understanding and create community and she was subsequently a wonderful mentor and friend. Her practical knowledge and deep understanding of personal and professional goals especially in tech make her an incredible coach!

I have known Caroline for over a decade, first as a colleague on the same team and then as someone interested in coaching and mentoring.

Caroline and I worked together at Google but never directly.

Caroline was generous with her time and an empathetic listener who, despite some familiarity already, took the time to understand my career and life circumstances in greater depth. The combination of resources and insights she shared went a long way towards helping me to reaffirm my path, with a style both professional and practical which made my coaching experience feel very "real" and approachable. ​ ​Beyond her depth of experience working in tech, Caroline possesses a natural gift with coaching and leadership development, and would recommend her highly to anyone seeking the same.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carolyn serving as my Career Coach. In that short time, she’s had a significant impact on how I lead my teams, critical thinking around my executive strategy, & how I authentically drive organizational change and development in my leadership. I would recommend her to any leader that is looking to grow meaningfully in their careers & have already shared her with my professional network. Fantastic Executive Coach!

I have known Carolyn now for over 6 years; we first met while I was being interviewed for a role at the company she worked at. Later on, we became peers, and I got to work with her and learn from her firsthand. She has extremely high EQ and a great way to communicate across different backgrounds and disciplines to easily gain trust. She helped me understand company culture and identify my core leadership strengths that would allow me to thrive in that environment. This extended to helping me build a talent and location strategy for my org and identify areas of opportunities. She is always supportive and helps you brainstorm different ways to problem solve without forcing you in a particular direction. I really appreciate that about her because it helped me understand my own why around things and made me a better leader.Working with Carolyn has helped me tremendously. Not only did my career benefit from our collaboration, but it also helped me discover how to find work that aligns best with my core values. I would highly recommend her as a coach!
